Exclusive! A look at Hot Wheels Elite 1:18 Scale Knight Rider KITT!

We were recently lucky to catch up with the team behind the upcoming 1/18 diecast of KITT, from Hot Wheels Elite! They say KITT is doing well, and provided us these images of the latest KITT tooling model that they just received from their engineers. Note that these images aren't a final product, but rather a work in progress as they constantly refine to get a perfect accurate model.

And if that wasn't exciting enough, they've also shared a recent video of the scanner light in progress! This is just one of the many features this product will have in addition to:

The "Knight Industries turbo jet engine with modified afterburners" under the hood is a nice touch considering we never really saw under the hood of KITT throughout the entire run of the show... Kudos Hot Wheels!

The Aoshima 1/18 model on the other hand had a factory stock Pontiac engine...

In that Iook that scale model reminds me the episode "Junkyard Dog", in wich KITT was allmost destroyed and then rebuilt in the FLAG labs, showing KITT's thinner skin below that black armor.

Somewhere in the $160 - $165 price mark, and its limited edition. So unless you are pre-ordering then expect to pay the ebay price. Also take a look at some other cars from this hot wheels line on ebay. This one is an investment for sure!
